I don't think reusing 4Play would have been the issue, I doubt any really remember it on a large scale anyway.
I would say the reason they didn't go for 4Play would be the complaints that would have came from people over the name and its sexual connotations. Even though personally I think it would have been a good name for them to use.
I'm curious as to how they are going to refer to the catch up service now. It shares the same name as the main channel, so are they going to promote a show, for example, as "Thursday at 9pm on E4 or [stream/catch up/watch] on Channel 4". Just doesn't sound right.
